I bought a completed Bitscope back in December. I havent got it working completely yet but the problem has been at my end and not with the Bitscope. It appears to be a well constructed piece of equipment at a reasonable price. ADC noise has been a bit of a problem, but Norman Jackson has suggested some mods to reduce it. He has been very helpful. Unfortanately there is only a preliminary driver for it for the host machine therefore you need to write your own code if you want to use its full capability. My father is currently writing some code in Python/tk but it is taking a while. I would be happy to hear from others that have Bitscopes.
